Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin

22 a‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses—  
23 all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—
24 then it will be, aif it is unintentionally committed,1 without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, bwith its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and cone kid of the goats as a sin offering.  
25 aSo the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintended sin.  
26 It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.
27 ‘And aif a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.  
28 aSo the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before the Lord, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.  
29 aYou shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells among them.  

Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

30 a‘But the person who does anything1 presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one2 brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be3 cut off from among his people.  
31 Because he has adespised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his1 guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
